Eric Deis, ApartmentOperating on the borders between fact and fiction, a residential apartment is transformed through a routine dousing of water from sources suggested, known and unknown. Through poetic visual rhythms, and soundscapes, the barriersbetween the natural and unnatural, and the transcribed and fact, are dissolved. The seamlessly looping video merges perceptions of reality and unreality by blending timelessness with a sense of regularity and normality. Apartment augments the artificiality of the constructed environment in which we live and transforms the banal into a space of metaphor and imagination.

Myriam Yates, Incorporer (s')Myrian Yates's photography and video based practice tends towards documentary approach, exploring the tenuous relationship between public and private space as well as obsolete urban sites related to leisure and culture.

Michel Boulanger, After MonogramIn the work, After Monogram, Michel Boulanger creates a new life depicted as a surreal experience in a computer generated environment. In this animation, a goat is trapped within a 3D version of a Rauschenburg painting,unwittingly held between its own grazing and the tilting, sliding world of art. Its maker sends it on a bizarre journey in control of its destiny and end. Here, as in cartoons, the goat stands for the universal us. In its confusion, the goathas much in common with humans and their responses to their environments. This work follows from a series of paintings in which Boulanger attempts to reconcile nature and culture to learned and popular culture.
